Infection can go, but if it is keloid there are good chances it might recur. Local steroids can help but not cure

Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT
Yes, infection can resolve with the right oral antibiotics + topical ointment, but if it is a true keloid, medical procedures may be needed. Since you don’t want to lose the piercing, I suggest you keep the gold pin, maintain hygiene, apply T-bact
